Hells 1/2 Acre

We stopped in Idaho, at the lava fields.

It was very different then anything else we had seen. It is an area of volcanic rock, covered only by sage brush, a few bigger bushes, and some grass.

It is hot, and dessert like.

The only things that live here are insects, that feed the deer mice, that feed the rattlesnakes. It is uninhabitable to anything else.

We could see the wrinkles in the lava as it dried, and came up out of the earth, and bubbles in the rocks as it cooled.

It was an interesting place to visit, but I wouldn't stay there!
